For me it would be the prequel doctrine on attachment I disagree with. Because Jedi had families and children in Star Wars lore before the prequels. Just like how the chosen one thing was made up and so was midichlorians.
Aye, like Broom Kid’s post above - that is pretty much spot on for me, mate.
To get the Jedi celibacy thing you have to go all the way back to discarded script drafts for the original film, the son of the suns prophecy for the chosen one thing. Midichlorians came from nowhere.
Yeah, 100%. Along with the infamous lie and woeful attempt at re-writing history / time-travel from Lucas himself - an inane and bizarre attempt to give his then-new midichlorians idea some credibility (for want of a better word)… it certainly didn’t come from when Lucas attempted to claimed it to be - so ‘nowhere’ fits quite aptly.
If you’re talking about how Rinzler’s book had a fake quote about Lucas mentioning midi-chlorians in 1977, that easily could’ve been an accident on Rinzler’s part. Rinzler never said Lucas was deliberately trying to rewrite history; all he said was that Lucas “added a note” about midi-chlorians. So it’s possible Lucas actually just intended to add an extra note there for fun and to update it, but Rinzler accidentally included it as part of the original quote.
